My Father, My Abuser

In France, a wave of celebrity incest scandals has pushed survivors to speak publicly about abuse that had stayed hidden for decades. This film follows two women who describe growing up under a father's abuse and the years of silence that followed, from childhood confusion to the decision, often prompted by a stranger's public accusation against a famous man, to finally tell their own story. Interviews trace what breaking that silence actually costs: strained family relationships, disbelief from relatives, and the slow process of naming what happened as a crime rather than a family secret. The film sits the personal accounts against the wider French reckoning, where public figures' cases opened space for ordinary victims to come forward, and asks what support exists for them once they do. It stays close to the two women's testimony rather than building a broader investigation, letting their own words carry the weight of the subject.
